Abstract
American Diabetes Association adult criteria are used to screen youth for diabetes, but little is known about normal glycemia in youth. In the HEALTHY Study (total n = 8814), hemoglobin A1c was ≥5.7% in 2% of normal weight youth. This suggests need for cautious interpretation of prediabetes hemoglobin A1s in youth.
